In the assigned reading by Ash, Berg, & Coeira (2004) when a “U.K. hospital supplanted the telephoning of results by laboratory staff with installation of a results-reporting system in an emergency department and on the medical admissions ward, the results were devastating: ‘‘The results from 1,443/3,228 (45%) of urgent requests from accident and emergency and 529/ 1836 (29%) from the admissions ward were never accessed via the ward terminal. . . . In up to 43/1,443 (3%) of the accident and emergency test results that were never looked at, the findings might have led to an immediate change in patient management.” Why did this happen?

a. The doctors were not skilled enough to use the computer

b. The providers believed that they had sufficient levels of expertise to not bother with the lab results

c. The nurses did it for them

d. The designers of the system did not understand the normal workflow and did not sufficiently plan for the change that doctors had to retrieve their own results from the system
